Also, to me, there's a huge difference between the charity balls, contributions for wings made by the monied, etc. and pretty much forcing people to contribute whether they believe in the "charity" or not. Almost every event held at Savannah Center now seems to have a portion going to Moffitt. As I've stated, I won't attend an event where a portion of the proceeds go to TV's Moffitt Center, but I really resent not attending some of these events. I truly would have enjoyed some of them but I'll be danged if I'm going to give one nickel to something I feel is unnecessary, of little benefit to the majority and rammed down my throat as if it was the greatest gift ever given.

So true Redwitch.
We are going to a wine tasting with a group and we are all complaining that part of the ticket goes to Moffitt. One in the group called the business and were told the business was forced into the whole deal. Nice way to strong arm a business which was told their rent would go up if they didn't cooperate.
